Owner Operators
Partner with a dispatch team that treats your truck like it’s theirs
Choose the partnership model that fits how you want to run — under CSR’s authority or your own — and we’ll handle the rest.
Revenue Split Options
Two partnership models, full transparency
Both models include full dispatch support. The difference is whose operating authority you run under, and how the revenue splits.
80/20 Split
80% to youRuns under CSR Logistics Services' MC Authority
Owner operators who don't have their own authority yet, or prefer CSR to carry the operating and insurance overhead.
- You keep 80% of the linehaul revenue on every load
- Operate under CSR's MC Authority and insurance program
- CSR handles authority-related compliance and paperwork
- Lower barrier to entry — no need to hold your own authority
- Full dispatch, load booking, and support included
90/10 Split
90% to youRuns under your own MC Authority
Owner operators who already hold their own authority and want maximum revenue with dispatch handled for them.
- You keep 90% of the linehaul revenue on every load
- You operate under your own MC Authority and insurance
- CSR handles dispatch, load booking, and rate negotiation
- You maintain full independence and control of your authority
- Ideal for experienced owner operators ready to maximize pay

Paperwork Handled
Rate confirmations, BOLs, invoicing, and settlement statements — done for you.

General partnership requirements
Every partnership is reviewed individually. As a starting point, we typically look for:
- Valid CDL-A license in good standing
- Truck and trailer maintained in safe, DOT-compliant condition
- Current insurance coverage (CSR's authority for 80/20, your own for 90/10)
- Willingness to communicate with dispatch on availability and location
- Manageable safety and inspection history
